GLAZING STRIP Filed Nov. 8, 194,

Inventor Patented Apr. 10, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

self retaining glazing strip.

A further object of this invention is to provide a glazing cushion or strip having air pockets thereunder.

A primary object of my invention is the provision of means whereby a sash may be very quickly glazed.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of means whereby a glazing strip may be applied to a window pane and then attached to the sash, the strip being provided with self retaining means relative to the sash.

Another object of my invention is to provide a rubber or the like glazing strip provided with means for resiliently supporting a window pane whereby the same will not be broken by shocks to the sash to which it is applied.

Yet another object of this invention is to provide the combination of a window sash and a glazing strip therefor.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view of one embodiment of my invention,

Figure 2 is a similar view of a sash rail formed in accordance with my invention,

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of a glazed window sash embodying my invention,

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing another form of the invention,

' Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 2, illustrating a sash formed to receive the strip of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a perspective view illustrating the application of Figures 4 and 5,

Figure '7 is a view similar to Figure 1, reflecting another embodiment of the invention, and

Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 3, illustrating the application of the form of the invention shown in Figure '7.

In the above drawings aswell as in the specification to follow, the same characters of reference indicate the same parts throughout.

While one embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the above referred to drawings, it is to be understood that they are merely for the purpose of illustration and that various changes in construction may be resorted to in the course of manufacture in order that the invention may be utilized to the best advantage according to circumstances which may arise, without in any way departing from the spirit and intention of my device, which is to be limited only in accordance with the appended claims. And while I have sated the primary field of utility of my invention it remains obvious that it may be employed in any other capacity wherein it may be found applicable.

My invention comprises a glazing strip ll, formed preferably of rubber, or a like substance in length to fit difierent sizes of window sash,

or which may be provided in rolls or long stock strips to be cut to sizes desired. This strip is provided with longitudinal. grooves l2 and I3, both having inclined outer side walls 14 and I5, adapted to receive the edges I1 and I6 respectively of window panes l8 and E9 in a double glazed sash 28. The bottom wall 2| of the strip I I is provided with longitudinal spaced grooves 22 and 23, and is also provided with a downwardly projecting outwardly inclined longitudinal tongue 24, and a spaced terminal longitudinal flange 25, the purpose of which elements will now be set forth.

First, however, let me say that I provide the sash 2 with an inside projecting integral bead 26, forming a vertical wall 21, spaced outwardly from which is a longitudinal groove 28 in the seat 29', adapted to receive the strip H, the tongue 24 of which is adapted to enter the groove 28 and bear against the outer wall 29 of the groove whereby the strip H is securely retained upon the sash 20. The flange 25 is a terminal of the inclined outer wall 30 of the strip II, and this flange seats upon the top surface 3 l, forming the outer marginal edge of the seat 29. The inner vertical surface 32 of strip l l seats flush against the wall 27 of the sash 20.

In Figures 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings, is illustrated a slight modification of the invention which is intended for use .of one pane sashes and in which the strip 33 is provided with a single longitudinal groove 34 for the lower edge of a glass, and a single longitudinal groove 31 in the under wall 38 of the strip 33. The sash 39 is provided with a narrower seat 40 with its groove 4| closer to the wall 42 of bead 43. Otherwise both glazing strip 33 and sash 39 are like the strip I! and sash 20.

In Figures 7 and 8, I show an arrangement of both strip 44 and metal sash 45, the latter being provided with an inner face 41 of flange 48 of a width to accommodate the glazing strip 44,

which differs from strips l I and 33, only in that its bottom wall 49 is provided with a series of inclined longitudinal ribs 50, adapted to seat upon the said surface 4'! of the metal sash and form a shock absorbing means whereby the natural jar resulting in closing down a sash of this nature is absorbed before reacting on the glass 52, the ribs 50 causing a retaining action holding the glass 52, and the strip 44, in which said glass 52 is inserted firmly Within the metal sashes 45, as pressure is applied from the opposite direction the ribs 58 have a tendency to roll instead of slip.

It is to be noted that all of the outer inclined walls 53, 54, M and i5 of the channels or grooves '55, 34, i2 and 13 respectively of the several types of strips are for the purpose of providing a tight fit for the window pane edges and that the outer ends 56 of all of these Walls Will be forced outwardly into vertical position by the forcing in l of said glass edges, which arrangement provides a constant pressure against the outer side 5'! of the glass whereby there is no possibility of rattling. It is of course obvious that the glazing strips are intended for all upper, lower and all side edges of the glass. Due to the resilience of the strips they may be fitted to the glass before insertion into the sash, the strip having suificient give to permit it being forced into place with the glass; in this connection the strip 44 may be used in a wood sash as well as metal and the ribs 50 each thereon will further lend themselves to this purpose.

.It isthought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain aclear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details and parts such as come within the purview of'tthe invention claimed may be resorted to, in actual practice, if desired.

Having now described my invention that which I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. Means for retaining a glass pane in a sash having a substantially rectangular slot comprising a resilient strip, a tongue secured to said strip having the substantially triangular cross section engageable in a substantially rectangular slot and pressing against one wall and being spaced from the opposite wall thereof, grooves in said strip overlying a substantially plane surface of the sash, and means in said strip for loclringly engaging a pane.

2. Means for retaining a glass pane in a sash which has a slot with one plane Wall comprising a resilient strip, a tongue secured to said strip having a substantially triangular cross section with one wall of the tongue pressing against the plane wall and spaced from the opposite wall of said slot, grooves in said strip overlying a substantially plane surface or" the sash, means in said strip for lockingly engaging a pane therein and an extension on said strip partially spaced from and partially engageable with a plane surface of a sash.
